What is the Best 100% cotton yarn for knitting?
Tank Top

I am considering cotton-ease but I am getting mixed reviews on the lion brand product. Please help! Yarn is exspencive and I can't afford to spend money on stuff that won't work.
I'm making a sweater. I like the feel of cotton much better then wool. I love how TLC Cotton Plus knits and cares, but I'm looking for a charcole color.


I worked at a knitting store for a year and a half, and the best cotton yarn by far is Blue Sky Alpacas brand organic or dyed cotton. I use it for everything. It is so soft, comes in a lot of colors, and is worsted weight. It's even machine wash and dryable. It comes in hanks of 150 yds and usually costs around $10 a hank. You can find it at some yarn shops, but you can go to the blue sky site for stores that carry it. Or you could get it online. The store I worked at has an online store and carries it all the time. It is called Unwind Yarn in Burbank, CA. I just moved to NC and there are no local stores that carry Blue Sky, which is my favorite brand. They also have great alpaca obviously. I will be continuing to order it from Unwind! Nothing else compares.

    • Madhu Knits and Cooks: Petticoat Socks for My Sister

    In what I hope will become a more regular trend, my post today actually tracks the completion of my knitting projects!  Gone are the days of blogging about completed knitting projects weeks or months after they are blocked...at least I hope.  In any case, last week, I finished making a pair of Petticoat Socks, the pattern published by Veronik Avery in Weekend Knitting.  I made the socks for my sister, who is vegan, and admit taking a somewhat odd path to choosing this pattern.  More details follow the picture.

     

    I first purchased the yarn after doing a fair amount of research online about easy-to-care and durable vegan sock yarns.  I ended up choosing Elann's Esprit, especially because I could find a wide array of available colors that my sister could select from.  My sister chose the pecan color (7625), and I ordered 3 balls because I had no idea if I would be knitting a long or short pair of socks.  I did a quick gauge swatch on size 3 circulars, and started to look for patterns -- and of course started by consulting Ravelry.com, Knitty.com and other websites.  Finding no patterns that I really liked, I started looking at my pattern books (you know, those things that, unlike the Internet, you actually pay money for because you think you'll really use them over the years) and found the Petticoat Socks pattern -- a pattern that I have literally flipped by for years with absolutely no interest in making.  The gauge matched up, the pattern seemed to be interesting enough to keep my interest through the entire project, and finally, I really did want to make my sister a pair of non-stockinette or otherwise "boring" socks.
